Release Date 3/2/2025

 I released this message off of Abaco in the Bahamas while on a trip on friend's sailboat, Tilia. 

We had been cruising for a few days and were about halfway through our trip.





It has been a great trip lots of fun conversation and adventures. I hired a guide to take us lobster spearing. This turned out to be a lot more complex than i thought it would be. I assumed being able to spear the lobsters would make it trivial, but the freediving, in conjunction with the primitive Hawaiian Sling spear system made it a challenge, and it took a while berfore I got the hang of it.




We also did some beach combing on a very remote piece of land and found an amazing number of these fish trays. My initial impulse was to collect them all and cut out the nameplates, but calmer heads prevailed and we just took pictures. Subsequent research proved that most of these came all the way from Morocco. 







The Strava Track vastly underestimates how difficult it was to walk on the very sharp eroded coral and limestone. It was VERY rugged terrain and my Hokas were partially shredded by these rocks.

Truth: Time keeps passing.
